him first to offer the job from the matrimonial app is still in contact,repeatedly calling him to assure that the refund will happen and encouraging me to cooperate by making additional payments.
The cheating came to light when the victim in March 2025,contacted his brother and shared offer letter and other related documents,who confirmed all these letters are fake and he suggested lodging an official complaint.
